SWISS NATIONAL DAY - FÊTE NATIONALE

On the 1st of August, Switzerland will celebrate it's National Day. It is considered a holiday and most people have a day off (it is just like a Sunday) in order to relax, commemorate our independence and have fun...

This day is celebrated solely in the municipalities, at a local level, with a multitude of parades (not military), speeches, bonfires, fireworks, music, gymnastic shows and group performances of the Swiss national anthem. People will also organize big feasts and picnics.

On this occasion, I thought that you might be interested in checking out my Swiss recipes as well as the links I have pointed out for you. Maybe you'll want to bake or cook something Swiss this weekend!
